Hello there kdv,

As per my message yesterday if anything I feel like I’m too verbose. I came upbwith a rather crude workaround based on linked objects.
As far as using the dictionary function I am able to use “set key” to store the information I need and then use “get key” to restore the data. The problem that I’m encountering is with the “get key” command. If I try to execute it using a procedure that is associated with the button that contains the parameter I’m trying to update it essentially locks the object and does nothing. If I execute the “get key” using an “on-click” event from a non related object it works like a charm. I only guessing due to my lack of knowledge but is the non working issue have anything to do with the “read from” and “update to” fields being the same?

If there are some general “rules of thumb” regarding the use of the dictionary function I’d be more that happy to listen.

Thanks again for taking the time for your reply. As I mentioned I have come up with a crude work around but I’m always eager to learn something new.
